FAQ
Glass, Aluminium & MC-125 Automatic Sliding Doors (South Africa)
Do I need safety glass in South Africa?
Safety glazing requirements depend on the application and location (for example, areas prone to human impact). Your project specification and the applicable National Building Regulations and relevant SANS standards will determine where safety glazing is required.
What documents should be in a glass and aluminium handover pack?
Typically: product and glass specifications, warranties, maintenance instructions, supplier details, as-built drawings (where applicable), and completed QA/inspection records.
What is the MC-125 automatic sliding door used for?
The MC-125 automatic sliding door is suited to high-traffic entrances such as retail, offices, medical facilities and estates, where smooth access control and reliable day-to-day operation are required.
What should be ready before installing an MC-125 automatic sliding door?
Confirm the opening is square and level, fixing points are sound, the correct door configuration is on site, and the power supply and cable routing are ready. If the door is part of an aluminium shopfront, confirm glazing, thresholds and sealing details match the drawings.
What safety checks should be recorded for the MC-125?
Record sensor activation tests, safe opening/closing behaviour, signage, emergency/manual release operation (if applicable), and final commissioning settings. Keep dated sign-off for handover and future audits.
Do I need a service log for the MC-125 automatic sliding door?
Yes - most sites and facilities expect a documented service history for safety, warranty and maintenance planning. Capture inspection dates, checks performed, adjustments, call-outs and any parts replaced.
What should be included at handover for an MC-125 installation?
Include operating instructions, warranty details, commissioning/setting notes (where applicable), completed installation and safety checklists, and signed handover documentation. Keeping this evidence helps with facilities management and future troubleshooting.
What causes the most call-outs on automatic sliding doors like the MC-125?
Common causes include misalignment, dust/debris in the track area, power interruptions, sensor obstructions and impact damage. Regular checks and a consistent service record help reduce downtime.
